"From Low-Cost Flights to the Ballot Box: How Eastern European Migration Far-Right Voting in London"
By Elena Pupaza & Joachim Wehner
The Journal of Politics

The replication archive contains four data sets in Stata format:
* "Pupaza & Wehner_Tables_Data.dta"
* "Pupaza & Wehner_Airports_Annual.dta"
* "Pupaza & Wehner_Airports_Monthly.dta"
* "Pupaza & Wehner_Registers_Data.dta"

All replication code is written as Stata .do files that use these data sets. To start any replication, open the relevant .dta file in Stata and run the .do code for that data set. The replication archive contains three sets of replication code:
* "Pupaza & Wehner_Tables_Code"
* "Pupaza & Wehner_Airports_Code.do"
* "Pupaza & Wehner_Registers_Code.do"

Use "Pupaza & Wehner_Tables_Data.dta" together with "Pupaza & Wehner_Tables_Code" to reproduce the following tables in the paper and online appendix:
* Table 1: Migration from new EU member states and far-right support in London-wide party list Assembly elections
* Table 2: Exploring channels with split sample regressions using initial unemployment, house prices, and contact with EU8+2
* Table D3: Descriptive statistics
* Table E2: First-stage regressions
* Table E3: Comparison between different instruments
* Table E4: Second-stage estimates with single vs multiple instruments
* Table G1: Number of votes cast for UKIP and BNP
* Table G2: Main regressions with 2008 elections
* Table G3: Building the main model
* Table G4: Turnout

Use "Pupaza & Wehner_Airports_Annual.dta" together with the first part of "Pupaza & Wehner_Airports_Code.do" to reproduce the following figures in the online appendix:
* Figure B.2: Number of EU8+2 destinations by London airport, 2001-2014
* Figure B.3: Passenger traffic to/from EU8+2 countries by London airport, 2001-2014
* Figure B.4: Total number of passengers to/from London and EU8/EU2 countries, 2001- 2014

Use "Pupaza & Wehner_Airports_Monthly.dta" together with the second part of "Pupaza & Wehner_Airports_Code.do" to reproduce the following figure in the online appendix:
* Figure D.1: Monthly total number of passengers to/from London and EU8/EU2 countries, 2004

Use "Pupaza & Wehner_Registers_Data.dta" together with "Pupaza & Wehner_Registers_Code.do" to reproduce the following figure in the online appendix:
* Figure F.1: Estimated EU8+2 voter registration rates across wards in selected boroughs (2011)

All analysis was done in Stata/SE 17.0 for Mac.
